In January of this year I broke my foot. I was used to walking 4-5 miles daily with my dog, Fin, at the North Branch Trails of Wolcott Mills. My foot did not heal quickly and I couldn’t walk the trails until the beginning of July. I missed it so much! My dog missed it too, relegated to walking and running around my aunt and uncle’s back yard. When I got back to the trails I had to start with shorter distances. Still, it was so good to be back to walking the beautiful trails and seeing the deer, birds and other trail users! I am up to 3.5 miles a day, and my border collie is loving it, as am I! I’ve made new friends and have taken some great pictures! I’m hoping to be back to 4-5 miles by November, just in time for the winter walking season. Thanks Metropark! -Tonya
